February's Groundhogs and Mexico

By Cole Matthews 8 hours ago

When I lived in Minnesota, I always called February the longest month. It was in the depth of winter after the holidays and before the first spring melts were even possible. It could get depressing, so we began planning a winter getaway to the beach, and Mexico was usually our choice. However, not everyone had that option, especially going back in history. Some enterprising people decided to predict just how long the dark and cold of winter would entrap people in their homes and hearths

  There are two different possibilities for the origin of this word. It may come from the Sanskrit word bharati and eventually found its way into German and then into Middle English in the word beran (to bear). The other possibility is that it originated from Medieval Latin bodina or butina and then into the French word borne and then into English.

  The Imperial dynasty was a long line of arranged marriages between the Royal House and the great houses until the Jackson Coup. Prince Roger, survived an assassination attempt, overthrew the coup and regained the throne for his house. Prince Roger had the temerity to marry a Sergeant of his Royal Marine close protection detail. Despite the morganatic nature of the marriage, Princess Nimachet was wildly popular with the public, and bore the royal heir, Arthur.

  Thanks, @Valkyrie, for the surprise feature. The original poetry prompts are all in the link you attached, but I started to create a book version on how to write formed verse. Zero to Hero, a Guide can be found here. There are 8 prompts there, and several essays on style, rhyming, and other topics. I had intended for this book to have 40 chapters, each featuring different forms, but frankly, the response to these new challenges was disheartening. Many complained the prompt challenges themse

  Thank you, Mancunian. I've learned a lot from other authors, and from reading their work. I love when a new author succeeds, and I am always feel privileged if I can lend a hand in some way. I need stuff to read too. You are right that writing is hard work, but dedication to the craft is what it takes to get the most from it, and I have gotten much from having a platform to create on. GA is where I got my start and it is where I am comfortable staying. The feeling of community has been very im

  I remember those times too, Adi. You had me captivated by that story, and many others. Yes, now that you mention, during RRS is when I took the writing plunge. Cheers, and thank you for the kind words.

  Wow! Yes, eight-and-a-half years ago I too joined in and wrote a Tanka - one of three poems I've published here on GA. They were simple things really but damn hard to do.
